Wedding Receptions

Whether you’re looking to dance the night away onboard, sit down for a formal meal, or just treat your guests to a short cruise before dining elsewhere, we’ll help you plan a bespoke cruise to fit your big day.

Choose your boat from our fleet, suitable for 5 to 90 guests, and take a look at our delicious catering options. We use quality local suppliers to deliver fantastic onboard dining, from nibbles to three-course meals.

We’ll dress the boat in ‘Just Married’ liferings and a wedding ribbon in a colour of your choice, but you might also like bunting, flowers, balloons, or your own decorations. Book a DJ or live performer to entertain your guests, or relax to the sounds of the river and wildlife.

Passing stunning riverside homes and gardens, historic bridges, and the beautiful greenery of Cheshire’s countryside, a River Dee cruise is a perfect opportunity for unique wedding photos. A warm ChesterBoat welcome is guaranteed!

Wedding Carriage

We can provide transport for up to 120 guests between The Groves in Chester and:

The charming village of Eccleston on the Duke of Westminster’s estate, for weddings at St Mary’s Church or receptions at Eccleston Village Hall.

The stylish Italian restaurant Et Alia at the historic Red House, with fantastic views over the river, city skyline, and the Meadows.

Add a reception drink or nibbles for the journey, or let your guests choose their own drinks from our well-stocked onboard bar.

If you’re interested in chartering a boat, just complete a Private Charter Enquiry and we’ll be happy to talk you through the options for your big day.
